Question
Hello Brenda,
In the Exodous we read about the 10 plagues of Egypt but in other parts of the Bible we read about the 7 plagues. I would like to know when they went from 7 to 10 or from 10 to 7, what are the 7, why was it changed, etc.
Do you think you can help me?
Thanks.
Jo

Answer
Hi Joe, you asked--"IN EXODUS WE READ ABOUT THE 10 PLAGUES OF EGYPT BUT IN OTHER PARTS OF THE BIBLE WE READ ABOUT THE 7 PLAGUES"

10 plagues were used in conection with freeing the Israelites from Egypt.

7 plagues are mentioned in the last book of the bible discussing what will happen in our day.

Two different times as you can see.If you would like a more detailed explanation, let me know.

All the best
Brenda
